Casa Howard Guest House
Author: Anothertravelguide.com0 COMMENTS
Casa Howard Guest House is situated in the very centre of Rome, a stone's throw from Spanish Steps and luxury designer shops (Gucci, Prada etc.) 10 beautifuly designed, cosy rooms in two locations.
When you are booking a room, the owners always make a point of explaining that this is not a hotel, it's an elegant residence set up in a beautiful historical building. Everything is just the way it should be: antique furniture, parquet floor and wonderful windows. Zebra room (at via Sistina 149) has a little balcony, too.
Three rooms (at via Capo le Case 18) don't have en suite bathrooms. But it is quite simple, actually: whenever the need calls, grab the specially provided kimono and slippers and rush some eight metres or so down the passage to the lavatory reserved specially for your room.
The staff are very obliging; all speaks English, sometimes, however there is an older Italian lady, doesn't understand a word but that won't prevent you from arranging everything you need. Perfect value for your money. However, you have to book a room well in advance: excellent word of mouth about Casa Howard spreads fast, so don't put off making a reservation too long.
